A. Electrical Requirements
The bowling center proprietor is responsible for the materials and installation of all AC and
grounding requirements. All electrical installations must conform to all local and state codes,
statutes or standards defined by local jurisdiction and/or inspections.
All electrical circuit panels should be installed using a dedicated distribution circuit panel with
an isolated third wire (green) equipment tie down buss. These circuits must not share a panel
that is or will be used as a power source for any device other than Qubica automatic scoring
equipment. The dedicated distribution panel should get its power source from at least a building
main sub panel, but the main panel is recommended.
Where TV is used, check that the antenna or CATV cable are properly grounded.
Dedicated panel to service entrance ground buss is restrictive as follows:
•
If the total length of the buss is 200 feet or less, use a number 6 AWG – 4 mm Ø wire
for entire buss.
•
If the total length of the buss is 200 feet to 400 feet, use two sections. Use number 4
AWG - 5 mm Ø wire for the first section from the ground connection to the first unit,
then use number 6 AWG - 4 mm Ø wire for the remainder.
